Designed by Walker Warner Architects, this magnificent energy-efficient home is a showcase in clean lines and modern details, nestled on a bluff of the Tiburon Peninsula, California. Carefully sited, this residence boasts mesmerizing views over the San Francisco Bay. The hillside acts as a natural buffer from both the road and neighboring dwellings.

Connecting this home with the landscape, the architects selected a material palette consisting of Aegean limestone, western red cedar, zinc, and board-formed concrete. Responding to the steeply sloped site, the low-slung architecture is terraced into the hillside to create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.

Inspired by the owner’s appreciation for art and nature, this energy-efficient home integrates bold architectural moves that convey the element of surprise through unexpected spaces.

In creating this home, the owner’s desired a place where they could relax and entertain while feeling a close connection to California nature. The residence was thoughtfully designed to create a balance between public and private living spaces, which includes a flowing floor plan with intimate enclaves for extended family members.

What We Love: This thoughtfully designed home provides a harmonious balance between the public and private and the indoors and out. Integrated into the hillside facilitates idyllic sightlines over the San Francisco Bay, perfect for these homeowners who love to entertain. Overall, we love the natural beauty of the property and the eco-friendly design features integrated into this magnificent home.
